LNG is an [operating] system primarly for the good old Commodore64 home-computer. There also is a native version for the successor Commodore128. Ports to other 6502/6510 driven 8Bit Computers are possible but not yet started. LUnix started in 1993 and reached the internet in 1994. In 1997 LUnix0.1 was rewritten from scratch, the result is LNG.

If you're looking for a operating system for your PC take a look at linux) The features of LUnix are: UNIX-like environment and command shell, multitasking, multisession. LUnix is free software!

"No problem," I thought, "I'll just use the del.icio.us handy dandy renaming utility to rename my united+states tag to united+states+of+america.

After I did this, however, I discovered that several of my previously-bundled tags were now unbundled:
